Hi there, I'm Nichole!

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist offering online therapy to adults in California. Most of my work circles one question: why do we keep repeating the same patterns, even when we know better? I specialize in anxiety, trauma, and relationship patterns, using CBT and EMDR to help your nervous system settle and stay that way.

My focus

You might look like you have it all together while you're quietly exhausted from overthinking, people-pleasing, and second-guessing every decision. I work with adults facing anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, low self-worth, relationship challenges, and past trauma- capable people tired of feeling stuck in the same patterns.

My approach

I use evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR alongside mindfulness and nervous system regulation, always grounded in safety, trust, and a trauma-informed approach. Therapy should feel like a real conversation, not a performance, so our space stays honest and pointed at what actually matters to you.
